How Knire-BIades are Made.

The blades of the very cheap pocket
knives are punched in dies from sheet
steel, but those for first-class pocket
cutlery are hand-forged, a good work
ingman being able to forge from twenty
FIVE to thirty large blades or about forty
pen blades per hour. There is pat
tern and gauge furnished the forger for
each sort of blade, but the experienced
workman rarely refers to either; his ac-
curacy of eye and skill of hand being
sufficient guides to exactness- The
blades come from the hand of the smith
perfect in form. except the bevel of the
back intended 10 guide engaging blades,
this bevel being formed by grinding.
The steel used in these fine blades is
Wardlow's (English). or the best Amer
lean make.
As they come from the forges the
blades are .'choiled," or filed to make a
nick between the blade and the tang.
Then the blades are tempered, having
received the trademark stamp on the
tang under IA press. The hardening is
done in an ordinary coke fire, the
operator heating two at a time and
plunging them in cold water. The
drawing TO temper is also done over a
coke fire. The blades are ground on
Sheffield and Nova Scotia stones,
'.glazed" on emery wheels, honed or
set" and finally are polished on
wheels of walrus hide fed with rotten
stone.-BoStOn budget.

Singular D'-. .ry of Gas.

When the artesIau veil at Amsdell's
brewery was completed there was per-
ceived about the water slight indica-
tions of natural gas. Nothing. how
ever. was thought of the circumstance,
as the element was apparently not pres
ent in any considerable quantity. About
two weeks ago the flame Of n lamp
chanced to be brought in close proxi-
mity with a stream OF water direct from
the reservoir, when the attendant WAS
astonished to perceive the sudden ignit-
ing of a considerable quantity of gas.
which burned clearly. and strongly for
n few seconds. and could be relighted
every time the stream was turned on
from the faucet Ii was found that all
the water from the we'll amounting to
about eighty barrels per hour IS inn
pregnated with pure. odorlcss hydrogen
gas. which burns readily and gives q
bright blue flame. 1t is only necessary
TO turn on stream of water in any
part of the building and bring flame in
conjunction with IL. when the volume
of gas liberated is sufficient To kindle
instantly into quick envelope of haIne.
This is all the more remarkable, since
the water is pumped into a lofty reser-
voir before being distributed. and the
greater portion of the gas thus has an
opportunity and no doubt is permitted
To free itself. That so much remains in
the supply of water distributed through
out the structure is certainly evidence
of the presence of gas in very consider
able quantities Mr.. Amsdell states that
as the presence of gas had not been no
ticed until after the earthquake. he was
led to associate the Two facts, and
thought that perhaps pressure had
been opened by the conyulsion connect
ing the shaft of the we'll with natural
gas reservoir The question of utilizing
the fluid for fuel purposes has not yet
been considered. as no tests have been
made to ascertain the exact or approx
mated volume of the gas, which it was
stated seems to be intermittent If the
supply is sufficiently large. it could be
used for fuel and illumination, and
would result in u large saving to the
firm. The discovery of this vein in con-
nection with the one at Knowersville,
although both should prove too Incon-
siderable to be of much value. is GER
tainly indubitable proof that underlying
the strata of this section there are large
deposits of valuable natural gas, which
only need to be properly tapped to revo-
lutionize the Illuminating and fuel in

The Love and Re.peo. OF Children.

IL mothers could only realize what a
critical period their children are passing
through from the third to the sixth
year. they would exercise more than
ordinary care during that time. Not
only physically but mentally aud NOR
ally are they undergoing change; a
change for better or worse. according
to the care and attention they receive
from their mothers and fathers. A
father is no more exempt from certain
duties towards his offspring than the
mother. He should always bear in
mind that his assistance in the control
of the children is of more value to his
tired wife than the presentation 10 her
of n costly gift. Ii is at this time that
children begin to notice papa's aud
mammals bearing towards one another;
let this always be one of perfect court
esy and respect. Nothing so quickly
destroys respect for parents as constant
pickering in the presence of their chill
dren. The first thing child should be
taught is respect for his parents and
elders; affection comes naturally with
most children and is the most valuable
aid in gaining control of their actions;
next to that is respect, without it very
little can be accomplished for the child's
welfare. Parents should bear this in
mind that children lose respect very
soon upon hearing them disagree; using
bitter. cutting words TO each other. This
is infiicting the first actual pain these
baby hearts have been called upon to
bear. In the presence of this the child
experiences conflicting emotions, which
ends in pity for one parent and con-
tempt for the other. o parent. pause.

a Special for SACRAMENTO.

Garlic Browne, the well-known artist in
crayon, is preparing large-size double
sheet of eight pages of his illustrated jour
nal the Open Letter, of San Francisco, to
be devoted mainly to Sacramento, and
illustrative of the homes, business and in
dustries of this city. -Four advance or
proof pages of the issue are at hand, and
contain matter expository of the resources
and attractiveness of Sacramento county
and the city. The paper is freely
illustrated. and the pages before us
show views of the city plaza, Wells, Fargo
u Co.'s express office, the Golden Eagle
Hotel, American river bridge State Capt.
tol, County Hospital, new Pavilion, Rail
road Hospital, Orleans Block, Western
Hotel, Capital Hotel, new depot, Hall of

river, picture of the statuary in the Capitol
rotunda, a bird's-eye view of a portion of
the city, winter scene in a Sacr 4mento

grounds, and portraits Of Governor Bart
lett, Senator Stanford, VIM. Land,
State Treasurer Herold, Colonel
Charles F. Crocker, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Waterman, Surveyor General Reich
art, State Senator Clunie and w. o. Bowers
Some of these pictures are wood -cuts, some
views. Mr. Brownies style is
free-hand, vigorous and without attempt at
finish. his idea is to give in his sketches,
pictures that are strong in outline and
shade, rather than delicate and ornate.
They present bold line representations of
public buildings that do credit to the city,
and are representative of business and
other structures. Mr.. Brownies other four
pages added to these will make up an Illus
trated paper with text matter valuable
to this section, and that will add
materially to the effort TO disseminate in
formation concerning facts toward the
boom we now feel in the air and is soon
to set in for this locality. All assistance of
this order should command support and be
received with favor. A map Of California

Climatic Nan Of californIa.

A map has just been compiled and pub
lished by the Southern Pacific Company,
showing comparisons between the climate
of California and that of other renowned
health and pleasure resorts of the world.
1t affords a most interesting study, and
demonstrates the fact that there is no other
country nor locality that can compare with
California in eguability and desirability of
climate. The map is in colors which de-
note the isothermal belts of the State, and
having been prepared under the direction
of Brigadier- General II. G. Wright, Chief of
Engineers. U. S. A., can be relied upon as
correct, or as closely approximating ac-
curacy as is possible in such work. The
appearance of the map may be thus indi-
Gated The most prominent color is pink,
and represents the valley and foothill re-
gions having a mean annual temperature
of from 60o to 6So A higher mean
temperature Of from 6S to 72-the desert sec
ton of the southeastern portion of the State
is brown the higher foothills and north
erly portions of the coast, with q mean
temperature of from 81 to 60, is yellow
the mountain Delt the altitude of which
causes a mean annual temperature of from
A to 81, is designated with green, and the
snow region of high Sierras, having tenn
perature of from 80 to "A, is in white. This
arrangement not only enables determine
ton as to the general typographical feature
of the various portions of the State, but at
the same time associates them with the eli
matte conditions, and by comparisons with
meteorological tables, made part of the
publication, comparisons may be drawn
also with any of the leading resorts of the
world. Taken as whole. the map and its
accompanying tables and data, comprises
the most complete and effective presenta-
ton of the climatic and health advantages
of the State that has ever been issued.
